“I had never bid goodbye to television. I was just waiting for the right role to come to me. I wanted to experiment with newer roles and I wanted to avoid saas bahu serials completely,” says the actor who will now be seen playing a key role in the serial ‘Chaand Ke Paar Chalo’ on a popular channel.
In the new show, Upadhyay plays the role of Ravi Oberoi, owner of a leading fashion magazine in the serial. “I play a shrewd businessman who simply loves money and power. His only motive is to expand his company,” he says. “But I do not play a negative character. I totally adore my younger brother and I do not come in the way of others,” he adds.
Right now, he has just one serial in his kitty, but he is definitely not averse to working with Ekta Kapoor yet again. “I would be stupid not to work with Ekta. I really admire her as a producer and I would definitely say yes if she offered me a role in one of her serials. After all, she was the one who made Mihir Virani a household name,” he says.
It isn’t goodbye to Bollywood as yet, either. “I am doing a film called ‘It’s My Life’ with Harman Baweja and another thriller called ‘13B’ with R Madhavan and Meera Vasudevan,” he adds.
